SERVICE INFORMATION
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS Check the ignition system according to the sequence specified in the Troubleshooting. ( 15-2) The ignition system adopts CDI unit and the ignition timing cannot be adjusted. If the timing is incorrect, inspect the CDI unit and A.C. generator and replace any faulty parts. Inspect the CDI unit with a CDI tester Loose connector and poor wire connection are the main causes of faulty ignition system. Check each connector before operation. Use of spark plug with improper heat range is the main cause of poor engine performance. The inspections in this section are focused on maximum voltage. The inspection of ignition coil resistance is also described in this section. Inspect the ignition switch according to the continuity table specified in page 17-3. Inspect the spark plug referring to Section 3. Remove the A.C. generator and pulser coil referring to Section 14.

CDI UNIT INSPECTION
Remove the three battery cover screws. Disconnect the CDI coupler and remove the CDI unit. Measure the resistance between the terminals using the electric tester.

F ILLY LX 50

Due to the semiconductor in circuit, it is

necessary to use a specified tester for accurate testing. Use of an improper tester in an improper range may give false readings. Use a Sanwa Electric Tester or Kowa Electric Tester. In this table, Needle swings then returns indicates that there is a charging current applied to a condenser. The needle will then remain at unless the condenser is discharged. Unit: KW

Ignition Coil

INSPECTION CONTINUITY TEST

The CDI unit is not adjustable.

If the timing is incorrect, inspect the CDI unit, pulser coil and A.C. generator and replace any faulty parts.

Measure the resistance between the ignition coil primary coil terminals. Resistance: 0.1_ 1.0W

Measure the secondary coil resistances with and without the spark plug cap. Resistances: (with plug cap) : 7_ 12KW (without plug cap) : 3_ 5KW

Correctly operate the tester following the

manufacturers instructions.

PULSER COIL
INSPECTION

F ILLY LX 50

This test is performed with the stator

installed in the engine. Remove the frame body cover. ( 2-3) Disconnect the A.C. generator connector.

Pulser Coil Coupler

Measure the pulser coil resistance between the blue/yellow and green wire terminals. Resistance: 80_ 160W Refer to page 14-6 for the A.C. generator removal.

IGNITION TIMING INSPECTION

Timing Hole Cap

The CDI unit is not adjustable.

If the ignition timing is incorrect, inspect the CDI unit, pulser coil and A.C. generator and replace any faulty parts.

Remove the timing hole cap.

Warm up the engine and check the ignition timing with a timing light. When the engine is running at the ignition timing is correct if the F mark aligns with the index mark within 2. Ignition Timing: BTDC28/4000rpm
